"Who would ever choose to work from home? It's absolutely dreadful. So says Nigel Farage, anyway and he should know, because he does it constantly. When was the last time anyone spotted the Reform UK leader at work in his own constituency of Clacton-on-Sea? According to him, it's a couple of days a week. Sounds a lot like hybrid working, then."
"Methinks the lady doth protest too much, for when he blasts remote working, like he did this week in Birmingham, saying it doesn't make you more productive and that the country needs an attitudinal change to hard work, it feels an awful lot like when I tell myself out loud, because I'm making myself accountable to get off the sofa and go to bed,"
"He also clapped back that he was in the process of buying a house, there, but (conveniently) failed to answer directly how much time he'd be spending in or out of the office. (Ironically, the 885,000 house purchase itself then got caught up in the second-home scandal, after he claimed to buy a house in his Clacton constituency but it was actually purchased by his partner, Laure Ferrari.)"
Nigel Farage publicly condemns working from home as dreadful and unproductive while calling for an attitudinal change toward hard work. He divides his time among multiple workplaces: Clacton-on-Sea constituency duties (reportedly a couple of days a week), GB News studio appearances, a weekly Telegraph column, and occasional Commons attendance for PMQs. He operates in a freelance-style schedule and relies on staff to handle constituent emails. Constituents accused him of insufficient local presence in 2024. He announced a house purchase in Clacton but the 885,000 transaction became linked to a second‑home scandal when the property was actually purchased by his partner, Laure Ferrari.
